Garage Door Bottom Weather Seal T-Style 3 3/4 Wide 5 1/6 "T" (9')

Replaced the seal on my 30+ yr old Clopay, 9' wide and about 1.5" thick door. This matched the width of the one that came off the door. The product was very pliable. You want that so it flexes when installing and when the door closes. I dont think the 3 inch wide versions that are on Amazon will work so well as they will be more troublesome to squeeze in the U shape needed to install it smoothly. This one worked perfectly. It slid right in without any lubricants. To help keep the U shape when sliding it in I used a short 2 foot length of broom handle inserted into the feed end to keep the "T"s square in the aluminum slots with the right U shape. This would not work with the less wide versions. Overall very happy with the fit and smooth installation. The price was also the lowest I found. Will purchase another for the second garage door.

Good quality with easy installation

replaced the bottom seal on 3 mid-90's Clopay doors with the double T tracks on them. Some jerk had buried screws into the T-track on the original install to keep the track from moving, had to use a uni-bit or step drill style drill to remove the damage enough to get the original track to slide out, this has no bearing on this manufacturer but made a 5 minute install into 30 as I had to hunt down the necessary equipment. This seal slid right in after removing the burrs and was installed in roughly 5 minutes by 1 person. I installed 2 more for a family member and with their help, it took less than 2 minutes to install the new seal. It does feel a bit flimsy compared to the older material that was in the door, this is accounting for the dry rot and hardening that had occurred; it was/is just a bit thinner than the original material. I expect to get roughly 10 years from this; time will tell.

As far as ease to install definitely 6 star, took 3 minutes to slide into track, will update on how it holds up and functions

Pull the old seal off. Spray the track first with lubricant and take your time slide in the new weather seal. Easy work and if it comes out of the track just start over. Leave extra length because it shrinks. I've cut them what I thought was just right in the past only to find they shrink then the mice have a good entrance point!

I wish I had replaced the garage weather seal years ago. Replacing all three garage door weather seals took about 25 minutes from beginning to end and was a one-person job. The old ones were gray but had disintegrated after many snowy winters to the point that they were full of holes and cracks. These new ones are black and slid into the grooves easily. Even folding over the ends was easy, and the new seals have stopped the drafts in the garage and look fresh and clean.

some notes : easy to do, save your $$$ (125.00+ service call in my area), fits my Raynor door. Removing old strip was harder than installing new 1. I used a razor knife, slit the middle, gone. Clean both sides of track if needed, spray with soapy water, start seal, I used a bungee 2' from door on stud to hold the seal up and make it a 1 person job, keep track soapy as you feed it thru........CUTTING TO LENGTH.....some have said leave an extra 2" each side until it shrinks / sets......WRONG....you'll be hitting brackets, safety switch, and door may not close. If the installer of your original door / weatherstrip was good you will notice 2" or so folded inside each end of strip. Cut the strip with 2 to 2.5 " at each end, fold and work into space between tracks. Use a wooden dowel or other tool, SHARP edges.........30 minutes start to finish 8' door.

My garage’s door liner was at least 40 years old and in tatters. I slipped it off the tracks with all the effort of closing a ziplock bag. Having read previous reviews for this product, I washed and scrubbed the track, and emersed the new liner in warm soapy water. For perspective, the liner comes rolled up in a plastic bag. It is very pliable and bendable; it is not stiff and will not hold any shape or direction. Even if you bend it into the final “U” shape for installation, it will flop over with just 6-8” extended. At first I tried installing the liner into the door with the door elevated about five feet off the ground. Five tries later when the liner wouldn’t travel more than 8 inches, I cut the front of the liner into arrow shapes. After another five tries, I knew it wouldn’t fit by sliding it in place, because the material is too bendy, and the T junctions appeared too wide for my door track. My door track is removable, so I unscrewed it and put it on the garage floor, thinking that would be easier. Nope, no way. Now not only did it not fit, but now I had no leverage on the track. I started to think of stupid things to do, like stapling it to a rubber hose and bolting the hose in place. Then I had an awful, Grinchy idea. I went and got the screen door mesh tool, which is a wooden handle with two dull metal wheels on either end (like a dull pizza cutter). I re-soaped the track and started cramming the liner into the track with the screen tool. After another hour of sweating and expanding my vocabulary, I had the liner on the track. But, you say, the track bolts on, haven’t you covered the bolt holes? Correct you are! I cut 1/2-inch slits in the side of the liner, started all five bolts, tapped the track back in place, and torqued the bolts back down. If I had to do this over again, I would order something else; but the liner is in place, and it doesn’t look like an explosion in a bike tire factory any more. Good luck!
